These guidelines are recommended for the proper installation of Oasis products. A careful review of these procedures (and any referenced publications) before starting is important in avoiding an improper assembly and/or installation.

NOTE: All illustrations in this publication are typical, and may appear different than the actual product. Optional items may also be shown that were not ordered on the product being installed.

Special Notes to Installeru It is the sole responsibility of the installer to determine the requirements necessary for compliance with all installation code require-ments!

u All paperwork packaged with the product should be saved and presented to the home owner upon completion of the installation!

u All published product dimensions are for reference only. Any critical dimensions required for installation should be taken directly from the product being installed!

u Anyindependentmodificationsmadetothe product (or any options / accessories supplied) beyond those required for normal installation can void all warranties! (Refer to warranties for further information)

INSPECTION GUIDELINES

Carefully check the unit upon receipt. Notify your supplier immediately if any questions or problems are encountered during this process.

DO NOT INSTALL PRODUCT WITHOUT FIRST ADDRESSING

QUESTIONS WHICH ARISE DURING THE INSPECTION!

Basic Module Checkl Check unit drain position for match to

bathroom drain location.l Check unit for surface damage.l Check wall section(s) and base for color

match.l Check unit color for coordination to other

bathroomfixtures.

INSTALLATION SITE FRAMING

The recommended framing and dimensional requirements shown are for a traditional application and may vary, based on site requirements.

The dimensions shown in the dimensional diagram(s) are from the surfaces where the unit will be attached. This surface can be bare studding, dry wall or other suitable un-der layment material. It is important that the floorandallframingbesquare,plumband

level. Framing must be done using accepted materials and construction techniques in ac-cordance with all applicable codes for the site.

NOTE: Any pre-constructed wall(s) may requiremodificationoradditionalframingtoallowforfactoryappliedpipesand/orfittingswhich may protrude from the body of the unit.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

NOTE: ‘Wet-set’ is not required to support thefloorunderanOasisproductduetotheencapsulated Balsa wood construction.

The VURSA kd, multi-piece system is de-signed as a front side installation procedure, with four (4) individual sections locking se-curely together. Factory-installed pegs have been positioned on the top ledge of the

base and bottom edges of the wall panels along with slot and peg fasteners on each of the side wall face sections (photos 1 & 2). Holes on the underside of the wall sections contain a unique connector which locks to the pegs.The connection process provides an audible “CLICK” when each peg and insert are mated, resulting in compression along the bottom seam.

WARNING: Alcove framing members that tilt, angle or protrude into the installation area can compromise proper alignment of the sections. Use of additional shims behind theattachmentflangesmayberequiredto ensure the base component remains

square, and plumb in the framed area. Caution must be used to avoid distorting the unit shape, which can compromise proper alignment of the VURSA kd sections.

1a. Position the base component in the framed area. Before attaching the base sec-tion to the framing, a series of details must be checked (photo 3).

SPECIAL NOTE: It may be necessary to shim the base and/or back wall section(s) behindattachmentflangesacross the entire back wall to obtain square.

THE BASE MUST BE LEVEL, SQUARE AND PLUMB TO INSURE PROPER FIT

OF THE UPPER WALL SECTIONS!

NOTE:Adry-fitofthebackwallsectiontothe base is essential in eliminating mistakes or additional labor, later in the installation. Alwayspre-drilltheattachmentflangespriorto applying nails or screws.

Continually check to make sure the base component remains square and plumb within the framed area as it is being secured to ensure proper align-ment for the upper sections.

NOTE: Usage of a thin shield to protect the unit surface while fastening it to the framing is recommended.

SHOULD BE CLEAR OF ALL LOOSE DEBRIS AND THE SURFACE

PROTECTED BEFORE STEPPING INSIDE.

When properly positioned, the pegs enter holes along the underside of the back-wall ledge and‘CLICK’inplaceconfirmingapositiveconnection.

Using a framing square, check the backwall to base at both ends for square (photo 5). This should be 90 degrees in order for the side walls to seat properly. If NOT square, shimthebackwallatthemountingflangeOR add additional shims to the base unit at

2b. Temporarily secure the back wall to sev-eral framing members. Continually check to make sure the horizontal seam remains tight as this section is being attached to the framing.

2c. With proper alignment and square con-firmed,markthefrontedgeofthebackwallwith a pencil (photo 6) and lift the wall off the base and out of the alcove area. Thor-oughly clean the mating surfaces on both the base component and the wall sections.

Apply a SMALL continuous bead of seal-ant,approximately1/8-inchwide,onthetop ledge of the base component surface,

beginning at the pencil mark and working along an imaginary line from one side of the back wall to the opposite side (photo 7). NOTE: Oasis recommends a high-quality silicone-based sealant with a mold and mildew resistant content.

WARNING!DO NOT APPLY SEALANT ON THE TOP OF ANY PEGS AS IT MAY COMPROMISE

THE LOCKING CONNECTION. SILICONE MUST BE APPLIED TO THE IN-

SIDE EDGE OF THE MOUNTING PEGS.

Carefully reposition the back-wall section over the pegs on the base component and listenfortheaudible‘CLICK’toconfirmtheconnection.Removeanyexcesssiliconefrom the seam at this time.

NOTE: The use of shims behind the at-tachmentflangemayberequiredtoensureproper alignment. Caution must be used to avoid distorting the unit shape, which can affect sidewall alignment.

3. With the back wall securely attached to the framing, double-check to ensure the backwall to base is still square (photo 5).

Proceed by pushing the wall down until it contacts the base unit, ensuring that the base peg enters the hole on the bottom of the side wall.

6.Usinga4-footlevel,confirmthesidewalls are plumb to the base (pic 9). This is important for the installation of a shower enclosure.

Once the wall is plumbed, drill a 1/8” hole throughthemountingflangesateachfram-ing member and every 6-8 inches along theverticalflangeandsecureusing1-1/4”long nails or other appropriate fasteners. Continually check to make sure the bottom seams remain tight as this section is being attached to the framing. Adjust or add any shims as needed to ensure each section is square and tight.

NOTE: When adding shims caution must be used to avoid distorting the unit shape, which can affect sidewall alignment as well as enclosure installtion.

Water Supply and Drain ConnectionsRefer to, and follow, the assembly and installation instructions provided with the supply valves and drain system. Carefully check all connections for leaks.
